What is the Vulnerable Persons Registry?  ​​​​​​​​​​ ​​ The Vulnerable Persons Registry is a Windsor Police Service initiative in partnership with the Alzheimer's Society of Windsor-Essex County that promotes communication and gives the police quick access to critical information about a registered vulnerable person if/when the person wanders from their place of safety.     The Vulnerable Persons Registry can provide police with emergency contact information, detailed physical descriptions, known routines, favourite attractions, or special needs of the wandering individual. This information can assist officers in communicating with, attending a residence of, or dealing with an emergency involving an individual who has wandered.

​
